Friday, April 10, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Adonijah shall be put to death today!”
(1 Kings 2:24)

He just couldn’t leave it alone, could he, Jesus?

Adonijah wanted to be king.
He was the son of David.

As far as he was concerned
Absalom’s death meant he was next in line.

There was just one problem with his plan:

You had chosen Solomon to be king.

The way I reason everything out has no bearing whatsoever, does it?

Your wise, all-knowing will is the only thing that matters.

Pray this Lazaroo in overwhelmed gratitude and love:

“…remember that at that time you were…excluded from citizenship in Israel…”
(Ephesians 2:12)

Because I believe in You, Jesus

I’m a Christian.
My home is in heaven.
I’m part of Your Church.

But may I never forget the miracle You performed when I prayed to receive You as my Savior:

You included me in Israel!

I’m now eligible for every promise You’ve ever made to Your dearly loved people.

I, who was once an outcast

am now a Jew.

Wednesday, April 8, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with Spirit-led caution:

“Again Abner warned Asahel…”
(2 Samuel 2:22)

The basic problem with warnings, Jesus…

is I never know when it’s my last.

Nothing happened to Asahel after Abner’s first warning

so Asahel kept right on chasing him.

Little did he know this warning was it.

When he ignored it, Abner killed him.
Boom. Right then. Right there.

Am I on my last warning in any area, Father?

There’s no way for me to know, is there?

I’d better stop now.

Pray this Lazaroo with a willingness to be corrected:

“How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?”
(Galatians 2:14)

That had to be incredibly hard for Peter to take, Jesus.

After all, Peter had spent the entire three years of your ministry with You.

Paul was a Johnny-come-lately

who had persecuted Your followers in the early days of the church.

No matter!

This time, Paul was right
and Peter was wrong.

No matter by whom!

may I always be willing to stand corrected.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“…they had no regard for the LORD.”
(1 Samuel 2:12)

I see those words and I know they’re true –

because everything in Your Word is true.

But I can’t relate, Jesus.

How can anyone disregard You?

Oh, I know – Satan has a way of blinding people.

But this blind?
This mule headed stupid?

My guess is they’re determined to block You out

because they don’t want to be accountable to You.

But that’s not going to work, is it?

Pray this Lazaroo in prioritized humility:

“…I have forgiven…in order that Satan might not outwit us.”
(2 Corinthians 2:10-11)

When the sin against me is small, Jesus

forgiveness isn’t too tough.

I can shrug it off, chalk it up to…

“Nobody’s perfect. Everybody makes mistakes.”

But when someone betrays me, deliberately stabs me in the back

I really struggle to let it go.

Satan knows that. After all, he’s the original backstabber.

I need Your help, Father!

so that Satan doesn’t have the last laugh.

Saturday, April 4, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo in total allegiance:

“…what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband…”
(Ruth 2:11)

Boaz nailed it, Jesus.

It wasn’t what Ruth did for her mother-in-law while her husband lived.
That could have been out of love for her husband.

It was what she did for her mother-in-law after her husband died.
That was what demonstrated her love for her mother-in law.

Show me how to love others with Your love – for Your sake.

No other incentive needed.

Pray this Lazaroo in reverent awe:

“…God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.”
(1 Corinthians 2:10)

There are awesome things You want me to know, Jesus –

that can’t be heard
that can’t be shown
that can’t be felt
that can’t be tasted
that no fragrance can waft through the air.

My five senses are limited during my sojourn on earth.

These are the things so deep and profound, Holy Spirit
that You have to supernaturally place them
directly into my heart.

Take note! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…The LORD…saved them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived…”
(Judges 2:18)

It’s pretty important to have a Spirit-filled leader, isn’t it, Jesus?

Somebody You’ve called, who’s full of Your love and wisdom.
A person who gets guidance and direction straight from You.
A man or woman You truly love to bless.

Leaders who stay in Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment 1on1 relationship with You

tend to inspire their flock to do the same.

On this 1st day of April, know that God’s not fooling:

“…they are…heartless…”
(Romans 1:31)

Some of the worst people out there, Jesus

still have a heart.

There are things they still care about, people they love.

As hardhearted as they are about most things
a little tenderness still comes through.

But those who are absolutely, totally heartless?

These people are terrifying.
Their lips sometimes curl into a smile

but their eyes are ice cold.

I beg You to protect me from them, Father!

and never allow me to become one of them.
